Add an appropriate 'X-Forwarded-For'[1] header with the client's IP address to the request headers when the CGI script requests the resource from apache2, and then use mod_rpaf[2] to fixup the request inside apache2, so that it appears to come from the client, and is logged as such. If you are already behind a reverse proxy, you should append to the XFF header in the request headers from apache1. If you are not, you should construct a new one (do not trust XFF headers received from clients). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For [2] http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/ Cheers Tom
